This portable solar panel can charge almost all kinds of devices—from iPhones to Blackberries to digital cameras.

This easy-to-use Scosche solBAT II is a small plastic box that is even lighter than any cellphone. It is essentially a solar panel connected to AC or USB ports. Behind it, there are two lights—red one when it’s charging from the sun and green light when it’s charging another device.

The only problem is that the Scosche solBAT II charges for four to five days, but you can charge it through USB port in just over two hours. Its 1500mA battery can charge an actual 1150mA iPhone.

You can get the Scosche solBAT II for $30.

Novothink just announced that its recent solar charging cases—called the Solar Surge—for iPod Touch and iPhones are finally available.

Once you slide this case to your iPod Touch or iPhone, you can get about an additional four to eight hours of talk time or up to 20 hours of added playback time for audio. That is, after full charge from under the sun. But if you only got two hours sun exposure, you can still get an additional 30 to 60 minutes of talk time.

This charging case is compatible with iPhones 3G and 3Gs versions, as well as with the iPod Touch second generation. The Solar Surge will cost about $79.95…

A Japan-based company has just released this set of new speakers that looks more like a scroll than a device that can play actual music. This device looks more like a cryptic scroll, but they will, on the other hand, push you to become better nature lovers.

The one thing I hate most about eco-friendly gadgets is their dependency on solar rays. There are actually some countries where the sun doesn’t shine that much, so does that mean that they have no hope of ever gaining the advantages of solar technology?

Fortunately, someone thought that it is important to save as much energy as we can. The Illumicharger can collect and store energy from interior lightning and it offers free charging power to USB devices. It can be mounted on your wall, so that it directly receives power from your light sources. It also has two USB ports wherein you can plug your iPhone or iPod or other…
